SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUnNALS. In denying the practicability of a Russian invasion of India, and expressing it as our belief that the Russians themselves could not seriously entertain the project of such an invasion, we were far from maintaining that Russia might not endeavour to foment troubles on our Indian frontiers, or that good policy might not require that we should keep a watchful eye on that power, and, if necessary, take steps to baffle her designs. In fact, our security is de rived from this circumstance, that Russia can only act through other nations ; and that from the enormous military force possessed by us in India, in the finest condition, we can always promptly punish attempts at aggression on the part of these nations, while it is not in the power of Russia to afford them aid. Persia once prostrated," says the author of the " Pro gress of Russia in the East," quoted yesterday by the Standard, " and Affghanistan overawed, or protected, who bill again venture to smile or to sneer at the once sup posed impracticability of a Russian invasion of India ?" It is easy to say Affghanistan overawed or protected by Russia. But what would the Indian Government be doing all the while ? We have seen that though Ilerat is nearly 2,000 miles from our Indian frontier, the Indian Govern ment has found means to teach the Shah that he has some• thing to fear from England as well as Russia. The ruler of the Punjab understands his position better than to pro voke the Indian Government, by which he can be crushed, for the sake of gratifying Russia, which cannot assist him ; but both that Prince and the chiefs of Affghanistan will of course be well watched. But, says the Standard— " Granted, for argument's sake, what absolutely we are by no means disposed to grant, that a Russian army could by no possibility cross the Indus, still Russia might (and if she could would), in pursuit of that very policy which the Morning Chronicle ascribes to her, very seriously embar rass the British possessions in India. Admit the pos session of Constantinople to be her principal, as doubt less it is her more immediate, object, would she not natu rally seek to give distant occupation to the arms and re sources of the only power which can present an effectual obstacle to her ambition? In politics, as in strategics, it maybe wise sometimes to menace two points at the same time, in the hope of securing one of them. The last sentence quoted seems to imply an opinion that it is unjust to suspect Russia of designs upcn India, because of her adding to her possessions. Without being very suspicious, however, one may conclude that Russia has not advanced her territories and military posts a great part of the way through deserts, almost three thousand miles, on the road to India, without an object. She is not so rich, and, until lately, was not so secure on the side of Europe, as to encounter all this expense, peril, and labour in mere wantonness." Granted, we say, that Russia may seek to give us occu pation on our Indian frontier, for the sake of securing another object, this -is a circumstance quite distinct from the point to which we alluded, the invasion of India. When Russia is discovered acting in the manner supposed, Eng land, in her turn, will act in a manner suited to the exi gency. We presume that if Russia can find employment for England in India, England can find employment for Russia in Europe. Who ever said that England should re main with her arms folded, allowing Russia to plant her blows where she pleased, without retaiation ? Btit that is a very different question from that of waging war on Russia merely because certain exalted ' imaginations conceive the possibility of her awing first Persia, and next the mountain chiefs of Affghanistan, and through these. endanger our Indian empire. Let Russia be watched, and when detected in hostility towards us let , us retaliate ; but do not let a great nation like this make itself ridiculous by an insane Russo-phobia. If we have ' to fight we shall not surely be in a worse condition for having acted with the gravity end circumspection becoming - a great nation. Why should e e suffer ourselves to be ter rified. by Russia or any Other Power into proceedings that we could not strictly justify before the whole world ? All we meant to convey in our article of yesterday was, that effective armies cannot be marched through deserts and across immense mountain ranges, and that neither through Persia nor Affghanistan can Russia subvert our Indian empire. India is not now as it was when an adventurer . like Nadir Shah could with an army of ill-armed followers overturn the empire of the Mogul. We never dreamt of maintaining that England •ught to suffer Russia or any other Power to insult her with impunity.—Moen. Chronicle. In re-adverting to the meeting held a few days ago in the Isle of Thanet, we cannot but express our extreme gratifi cation at the unanimity which prevailed at it--not only be tween the rival towns of Margate and Ramsgate, but be _ tween the rival Steam Cernpanies which ply to either port. There was but one opinion prevalent at the moment, and . . that was that all were interested in maintaining a good un derstanding with one another, and that excessive local taxation should be done away, as well as every nuisance calculated to prevent visitors from residing at the respective ports of Margate and Ramsgate. In the promotion of these objects we trust that they will be eminently successful, and that the union "of sentiment which prevaile& on Monday last will be followed by a union of practice ; and let us for one moment assure all those who were then present, that the time is now come when union ought to be perfect. The Report of a Committee upon railroads, public conveyances, , post-horse charges, and various other matters connected with travelling, whether by land or water, is now before us ;'und the result of the inquiry of the Select Committee of the House of Commons is, that either the taxes bear . ing upon stare-coaches, glass-coaches, post-horses, &c , must be abolished, or locomotive power, whether by land or water, taxed to a similar extent. To the former proposition there can be no objection—indeed, it is but bare justice that the enormous taxes upon land travelling should be abolished without the slightest exception ; for all property embarked in the business alluded to is not only upon the wane, but has suffered at least two-thirds of de preciation during the last two years; and what is more to • the purpose, if the business of posting be done away with, which it must be unless the taxes are abolished, there will not, in the course of a few years, be a travellable road or a posting-house in the kingdom. Whether this be a de sirable object we leave our country readers to judge. With regard to the other point, the taxation cf steam vessels and railroads, we think that there cannot be two opinions upon the subject. There can be no benefit from the tax to the Exchequer. Both are already sufficiently taxed indirectly, and to lay a direct tax upon them, or any thing contained in them, would unquestionably result in a loss, instead of a gain, to the Exchequer of the country. Still, as some wiseacres may propose such taxes in the en -suing Session of Parliament, we beg to call the attention of the Steam-packet Companies, on the one hand, to the mat ter, and, on the other, of the inhabitants of Margate and Ramsgate. Let but a Bill pass to impose taxes upon steam-boats, and the fares must be augmented—let them be augmented, and every town, city, and borough which has ,the benefit of steam navigation, will suffer to -an extent of which it is impossible to calculate the amount.—Morning Advertiser. A Ministerial Journal of yesterday contains a long and loosely-written article,• signifying nothing, but purporting to 'discuss the question of Russian designs upon India. The Journal in question indulges in sundry very vague gencrali- ties about the difficulties of marching an army upon our radials possessions, about the inadequate supply of neces 'series and medicines in the Russian army, and sundry other things, which every one has heard rumoured, but about _which no one gives authentic details. And all this is wound up by the comfortable assurance that, supposing the Rus sian fortes were to arrive in British India, we should have no difficulty in - beating them when they were there. All this, we take leave to say, is very little to the purpose. If it were ascertained that in this present month of November, Ruisia was preparing a fleet in the Baltic for an attack upon Sheerness, at the mouth of the Medway, of what value Would it be to tell us that fleets were liable to very great -difficulties and accidents when they attempted to cross narrow seas in dark and stormy wheather—that Russia was deficient in pilots for navigating the Thames and Med way, and would be subject to wreck upon the Margate Sands ;. and, at all events; that were the Russians to effect a landing, the men of Kent would lose no time in drubbing them very soundly for their pains. All this might be, and yet it might notwithstanding be a very serious matter that Russia should dare even to make preparation for any such exploit. It. might be morally certain that no Russian would be left alive who dared to plant a hostile foot up on th e British shore ; and yet the danger, and the loss, and the disgrace attendant upon their landing would be so great, that a patriotic Englishman could hardly think upon it and vet live. The Paris Journal des Debats Writes much mo rn sensibly upon the q uestion of Russian i nvasion of India than does the London Morning Chronicle. The French Journal rightly says, that the affairs are not yet ripe for that project—" Les choses ne soot pas aussi avance es , e t les Russes ont aut re chose a faire, qu'a env o y er Runjeet Sing, ou le Sh a h 25,000 hommes cont re de Caboul, pour refaire 1 , empir„ Yes ; the Russians haveede Nadir Shah au profit du Souverain actuel de la Per se. something else to do—that is, they have to prepare —to make ready the ground, which if circumstances hereafter prove favourable—they will a dvance upon, to the annoy ance, if not the conquest, of our Indian empire. Our readers will do tis the justice to observe, that we have al ways looked at this important question as,,oenietedlfory stated the fu ture, ar.d not for the present. We have s ia from her that we look upon an invasion of India by ilus present frontier, as a chimerical notion. But we nevertheless consider it to be a present and important fact, that Russia is labouring with great skill, force, and perseverance so to extend her frontier, and so to disturb and weaken the in fluence of Great Britain ; in the North of India, that .the invasion may one dad be practicable, and may be, through a . greiter part of its march, rather welcomed than re sisted. It is against the preparations that our policy should dfreOted". It is not for our safety—not for our interest, noilor our honour, that Russia should have so much in fienee isa. the Eat as she possesses already,' and no pains ~. r . should be spared, no energy should be wanting—always however-keeping in mind discretion—to abridge that influ ence and to prevent it from going further. We have formerly said, and we see no reason to alter our opinion, that of late our affairs in the east of Europe and north of Asia, appear to be the least ill-managed of those concerns which we lament to see under the direction of the present Administration. Fortunately our foreign affairs have hitherto been free from the O'Connell pollu tion of political villany, and therefore Great Britain has not been designedly abandoned to the hatred of its enemies. But be they whom they may—at home or abroad—who desire to do mortal hurt to our na tion, they will find a ready ally and confederate in the favoured of the present British Government— Mr. Daniel O'Connell. We find accordingly that on the first rumour of possibly approaching war, Mr. O'Connell's Dublin gazette puts forth its advertisement. We remem ber the time when it used to be said of the unreformed House of Commons that if it pleased any foreign power— even an enemy—to command a few seats in that House, they had only to advance the money for the purchase of some borough representations. Do not the En2/ish people now see bow in the " reformed" House a good many votes —to say nothing of spies—might be obtained at less ex pense and trouble. But this _is by way of parenthesis. See what Mr. O'Connell's gazette, the Dublin Pilot, has to say : _ _ War with Russia—which sooner or later must come—is brought to our doors, and must at once form an active subject of our councils. Our British contemporaries treat the subject merely for our foreign policy and our Cabinet. We say it will be governed by our domestic policy and Ireland. Russia is vulnerable through Poland—England will be vulnerable through Ireland, unless speedy justice be done. To be success ful, a war with Russia must be a war of liberty against tyranny. Without that ingredient we must fail—with it we shall triumph. A wide field here. We shall open it." We beg of the English reader to pause here and pon der upon the fidelity and honour of the Irish Romanists. While we were at war from 1802 to 1815, they clamoueed for emancipation, and ever and anon threatened us with the consequences arising from their non-emancipated state, in a time of war. We despised the threat, and concluded the war triumphantly. In a period of peace . em Incipetion was given—given while pledges of eternal gratitude and friendship to England, her institutions, and even Ler Es tablished Church, poured from the tongues of these false, dishonourable traitors. And now, at the first sound—at the bare rumour of possible war, they spring forward to tell us that the privileges we awarded them shall be used in our time of difficulty in order to wrii,g from us further advantages for themselves—in order to beat down the Re formed Church of England and Ireland, which they said and swore that emancipation should secure. We must say for our own opinion upon this matter, that though the state of Irish traitorism—we cannot describe the thing accurately by any other word—and its influence in our Legislature and Government must add very much to our danger and difficulties in the event of a war, yet we think that risk will be weeds the running, for the sake of showing England what she must do if she would pre serve herself from the effects of Irish Romanist hatred. Let, it but be seen clearly by England, in the event of a war, that the Irish Romanists are leagued with the enemy, and then let us have a general election. The result would be, in our opinion, four hundred Members of the House of Commons not only willing, but determined to put an end to all Romanist interference with the Legislature and Go vernment of Great Britain. We advise the B. a ilish Roman Catholics to look to themselves, and find out som e me a ns showingof the British nation that they have no sympathy with the Irish traitors of the same religious persuasion. It is not not natural that England should much longer endure the tyrannous and insolent interference in all her national affairs of those who so ostentatiously hate her and her in stitutions. England must put an end to the politica power of the Irish Romanists, unless it be exercised very differ ently from what it hitherto has been. Let the British Re menists look to themselves. A war would no doubt bring on the crisis, and that effect of war we certainly should not deprecate. We arc weary of Irish Romanist insolence and falsehood.—Morning Past. Russia, as Napoleon did, aims at universal monarchy ; but the cautious and subtle policy by which Russia pur sues her ,plans of aggrandisement is as opposite to the daring and energetic ambition of Napoleon, as the brilli ancy of his genius and the intellectual sp'endour of his Go vernment to the intriguing treachery and sullen despotism of the northern Czar. Napoleon was disposed rather to overrate his own in sources, with the view of intimidating other nations into submission to France, the promotion of whose glory seemed to be as much a passion with him, as.; the achieving for himself extraordinary power and unri• valled reputation. It is, on the contrary, and has long been, part and parcel of the policy of Russia to underrate her own resources, and impress mankind with a notion of . her weakness, while continually employed in adding to her Empire, or preparing the means of fu ture conquests. The emissaries of Russia invariably act upon the policy of allaying the apprehensions which her conquests are likely to produce in this country, by gravely asserting that Russia is naturally weak, and that every increase of her dominion makes her still more so. Many shadow or simple-minded politicians in England, though not Russian emissaries, assist the object of the crafty barbarians, inculcating the same absurd and paradoxical doctrine. And so Russia, with almost noise less step, steals from one conquest to another, in order to furnish her apologists or dupes with new proofs of her in capacity and new arguments of her weakness. In this way Russia, that long within the time of what we call " legal memory," was buried in the obscurity of a forest existence in a remote corner of Europe, has proved the inherent weakness of her system and her incapacity to become dan gerous to her neighbours by extending the sceptre of her iron dominion over one-ninth of the inhabitable globe—an extent of territory considerably greater than that whose limits circumscribed the flight of the Roman eagles when the Roman power reached the goal of its grandeur. It is only within a few years—only since the Whig Ministers came into office, that Russia has realized one of the great objects of her long-cherished ambition, in binding "Turkey ;in the chains of vassalage, and converting the Euxine into a Russian lake, where the once proud flag of England dare not appear without her humiliating per mission. During the same era of Whig Government, so auspicious to. her ambition, Russia utterly extinguished the independence of Poland—tore to pieces the treaty of Vienna, by which England guaranteed the independence of the Polish nation, and received in return from the mistress of the ocean—chastisement ? No ; some millions of British gold, to enable her to finish the conquest of " the barrier" which we had raised against her ambition, and to cover the whole of that territory, which once was Poland, with her restrictive tariff, to the serious injury of British commerce. It is difficult to say, while England is under ite present rulers, what amount of injury an d i nsu l t th i s country will take from Russia with forbearance, and almost with thankfulness ! It is true that our Anglo- Indian Government has at length awakened to the danger with which our eastern empire has long been threatened by the machinations of Russian ambition, but not until they discovered that, under Russian in spiration, a Persian descent upon the Indus was actu ally preparing, while 10,000 Russian troops were encamped on the Indian side of the Caspian Sea. Some of our pro found writers in Asiatic and European journals write about au invasion of India from the direction of Persia, as it were absolutely impossible, forgetting how many successful inva sions of India there have been from that direction already, and more especially mindless of the conquests of Nadir Shah. From what we know by experience of the spirit of our Government, we said the other day that it was likely our feeble and fearful Ministers would be more frightened at their own military demonstrations, or at those of their Governor-General of India, than the - Russians would be, and we already observe symptoms of cowardly alarm and " truckling to Russia" in the Ministerial Journals. If a Whig Minister happens to be betrayed into an act of spirit, what is the next thing which we have to expect ? The very sound of his own trumpet alarms him— " Even And back recoils,atthe sound h himself m k s n e o l vs f v h not ad m w a n d y e: • It is now a good many years since Voltaire, either from ignorance or design, assisted the ambitious policy of tithuerseiba; by intimating thatdescribingiler itaswas C o o n l l o y ssu s s e with feet ry to l o f claylet her alone, and th a t b y ma ki ng a few steps in the fra gileundattihoants timeo f h e ß r u e ss m ia pi h r a e s wboeculn:l crumbleextending i h n e t r o d d o u m s i t - .

The good people of Berkshire bid fair to become as celebrated as the citizens of Cockaigne for " wonderful sights never to be seen." Last week handbills were distributed through Maidenhead announcing that Mr. Van Amburgh was to ride through Marlow on one of his lions, after which the lion was to jump upon Marlow-bridge, with the "lion-tamer" on his back ; and then the lion was to spring, to the sound of the trumpet, into Father Thames, and swim to Lovegrove's Wharf, at the foot of Maidenhead-bridge. Such is the love of the wonderful in Berkshire, that 200 or 300 persons as sembled on the occasion. A short time since the entire town of Maidenhead was put into motion in consequence of an an, nouncement that a man of science was about to run a race cn the Thames against a six-oared cutter ; the said man of science having declared that he had constructed a wooden shoe which enabled him to slide along on the water. The whole town, so it is stated, walked out to see the race, and took their station on the bridge, where they waited very patiently for the sight. How long they would have remained it is impossible to say; for a dozen at least of donkeys going over the bridge at the moment, one of them set up " a braying" so significantly, that the patience of the assembly was suddenly and simulta neously exhausted, and with visages as sad as that of the me lancholy donkey facetiously mentioned in the " Rejected Ad. dresses," made the best of their way to their respective homes. This is worse than washing the lions at Tower ditch. The Maidenhead wits already call their neighbours " Marlow lions;" and the wits of the latter town, in return, style the inhabitants of the former place " barge boots," and jeeringly ask them " whether they'll buy a pair of Berkshire skates ?" A NEW ROBERT MA CA I R E.—A Portuguese named Don Bernard, alias Senor Cacqueray, confined for a burglary in the gaol of Boulogne-sur-Mer, made his escape a few days ago by means of a ladder which had been inadver tently left against the inner wall. To deceive the vigilance of the turnkey be had dressed up a mannikin, and placed it in his bed—not forgetting to envelope its head carefully in an old co loured handkerchief, which, from the moment of his first in stallation in the Hotel d'Angleterre, as the gaol is facetiously called by the sprightly Boulognese, had invariably decorated his own caput in guise of a turban. The turnkey, in making his nightly rounds, and visiting Don Bernard's chamber in its turn, perceived the semblance of his prisoner ensconced amidst the bed-clothes, the time-honoured handkerchief, as usual, preventing the " winds of heaven from visiting" his occiput too roughly; his back turned towards the door, his garments duly deposited on a chair by the bedside, and his slippers methodically disposed near his table de nuit. Con ceiving that all was right, the Concierge retired quietly to his. couch, and found out his mistake only on making a second in spection of his prisoner's chamber in the morning, when broad daylight enabled him to obtain a clear vision of the stuffed figure, still in the same position, and under the pillow a sen timentsl farewell letter, which Don Bernard had the delicacy to address to him previous to his sudden departure. Not many days since the son of a gentleman of high respectability in Paris, made several applications at the Hotel de Ville at Lyons to be arrested as a vagabond. On account of his known respectability the demand was of course not com plied with, and the unfortunate gentleman who laboured under insanity, at last threatened t o dash out his brains against the walls. His person was immediately secured and confided to the care of two police agents who were instructe , l to convey him to the hospital of Antiquaille : but on arriving near the stone bridge over the Saone he contrived to make his escape from them, and precipitated himself into the river. All at tempts to save him proved fruitless, and ty to Saturday his body had not been found. 'File following anecdotes of Captain King, an early Governor of New Smith Wales, quoted by the Quarterly Review from Ross's Hobart Town Almanach, reminds us of tht sagacious judgment of our old friend Sancho Panza, dur ing his brief government of the island of Barataria :—One day, at Paramatta, he was waited on by two prisoners :using for pardon. One presented a petition signed by all the first men in Sydney, while that of the other was signed by only one. " How comes it," said the Governor, " that you have only one name to your petition, while this man has so many ?" " I have lived," answered the man, "with only one master all my time, Sir, and I did not know anybody." The Governor immediately gave the latter a pardon; but to the former he said, as he already knew so many rich friends he did not need one. At another time a country settler waited on him, requesting the loan of a man to assist him in shingling his house. " Come to me," said the Governor, "in six weeks' time, when the harvest is over, and I will find a man for you." Accordingly, at the end of that time, the settler, who does not appear to have been a man of much personal industry, again presented himself. "Go into that room," said the Governor, "and you will see him." After a few minutes the man re turned, saying he could not find him though he had looked all about the room—even under the table and behind the sofa. " Not find him !" said Captain King, " how is that? Come with me; I will soon find him for you." Then, leading him a second t i ma i nto t h e room , h e ma d e him look into a - large mirror that was over the mantelpiece. " That is the man to shingle your house," said he; "take him with you, quick, and see that he does it." On Monday afternoon, an inquest was held at the Crane Inn, Edgware, on the remains of an infant that was found in a coffin in a dry ditch in Lady Plumer's park. The proceedings excited great interest, and there were many rumours afloat upon the subject in the neighbourhood, It ap peared frotn the evidence that on Friday afternoon a lad, who was in one of the avenues of the park, happened accidentally to go into the dry ditch, and there he found what at first sight appeared to be a box, but which, upon closer investigation, proved to be a coffin, covered with leaves. He immediately gave an alarm, and the coffin and its contents were removed to the Chandos Arms ' Edgware, where Mr. Foote, the surgeon, was sent f or , an d th e coffin was opened, and it was found to contain the remains of an infant in a dreadful state of decompo sition. Soon afterwards, Mr. Fastnage, an undertaker, residing at Edgware, was called in, and he identified the coffin as one that had been made by him for a labourer named Parker, residing near Edgware, about seven months before. This led to fur ther inquiry, the result of which was that it was ascertained that the intant in question was still-born, and that it was the same fur which Mr. Fastnage had made the coffin at the time stated, but from a desire to avoid the payment of Church fees or some other cause the infant had never been proPerly in terred by the parents, but had been placed in the spot where it was found, and where it had remained ever since -without being discovered. No grave or hole had been dug in the ditch, but it appeared that the coffin had merely been placed upon the surface of the ground, and it was only concealed from the observation of any passer-by by the leaves that had been blown upon it. The persons in the neighbourhood remarked that the infant had never been buried, but that circumstance did not appear to have attracted any attention. The Jury, under these circumstances, returned a verdict that the child was still-born. Yesterday morning the remains were interred in Edgware church-yard. The occurrence has excited a very great sensation in this secluded neighbourhood. The mother of a newly-born child, found dead on the premises of Mr. Warn, ironmonger, Devonport, was exa mined before the Magistrates in consequence of its being be lieved that the child had come by it s ( t e eth through the neglect of the mother. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the prisoner had acknowledged that she had miscarried; that she had said " she wished the dear lamb had lived, and that she would have worked her fingers to the bone to maintain it." The evidence of the surgeon went to show that there was a c ompound fracture on the lower jaw at its symphisis , and there were deep penetrating wounds uoderueath the tongue, extend ing to the upper part of the chest. On the right side of the mouth was a slight cut. The wounds appeared to have been inflicted by a sharp cutting instrument. The right parietal bone of the head was also broken. The lungs contained air, and did not sink when put into water. The surgeon said he was not prepared to state positively that the child was born. alive. Had the lungs sunk in the water, he should have said it had been still-horn ; but such was not the case. The in juries on the body were sufficient to cause death if it had been born alive. On this evidence the prisoner was committed to take her trial at the next Assizes on the charge of wilful murder. e , VERSAILLES, OCT. 26.--EXECUTION OF 'GuiLLoN.—Guillon and Michel, condemned to death for murder, the first on the person of his aunt, the second on his father-in-law, yesterday underwent their sentence. At seven o'clock in the morning it was announced to them that they bad only an -hour to live. The y bo th received the terrible ill telligenee with resignation. At eight o'elock Giaillon, accom panied by the Abbe Setigny, Chaplain of the prison, was taken to the place of execution on the boulevard St. Antoine.

The long expected contest for the Championship of the Thames took place yesterday. It was in every sense of the word an aquatic display, the rain descending in torrents from the moment the men fi rs t en t ere d their b oa t s unt il t h e comple tion of the distance. Before proceeding to the details of this wager, it may be necessary to allude to the qualifications of the competitors. Charles Campbell, sonic fi , .e or six years since, was . the leading star' of aquati c s. Ho had ser ve d his time at Palace-yard, and after an absence of a few years at sea, conteaded with Pa idy Noulton, Norris, and others, who had carried all before them, and became victor cf all but Wil liams, of Watt rico Bridge, who was very justly considered the most testing man on the river. In the two struggles between Wiliiams and Campbell the latter was triumphant, and became the Champion of the Thames. Four years ago he was again " called out" by Frank Godfrey, and won without giving his adversary even the shadow of a chance. He has been since that period rowing with a gentleman named Thymic, and has had much practice with oars, although but partially employed with a pair of sculls. Coombes is a man who has risen only within two years. He bails from Vauxhall Midge, and until he won the sovereigns given by the Duke of Bueeleuch, two years ago, way not at all in repute. He defeated Ki r ping, and showed at the beginning of the season. He beat Watts of Waterloo-bridge against great odds in weight, and ails then matched against the next best man to the Champion, John Vaelps, of Fulham. Again Coombes was the victor, and mediately afterwards won the purse of sovereigns given by the ' gentlemen of the Sylphide crew at Putney. The leading m en had deceived themselves as to his capabilities, and Kelly, a Fulham man of immense power, was brought out against him only a month since, and shared the same fate as the others. Arranging the preliminaries of yesterday's contest, Coombe's backers required odds of 5 to 4 in the stakes, but the opposing party positively refused to give any, but stated that they were prepared with any sum not less than , a , OI. to back the champion at level. After a little " sparring, both parties agreed, and the match for 501. aside was made at Avis's y ( e P s u te tn rd ey ay ), b o l t a h s t e Monday n h a v e been fortnight. in hard F t r r o a m i thatl; and m periodon money until to a very considerable amount has been laid out, Campbell being the favourite at 5 a nd 6to 4. The appearance of the i wea ther yest er d a y morn i ng , a f ter th e n ight's rain, induced the belief that th e men wou ld row i n a l mos t a calm, but as the time drew near th e w i n d sprung up , an d it was found neces sary to strain canvass over each boat fore and aft. At one o'clock some of the " water party" made their appearance at Westminster-bridge in l ong cutters, and although th e rain, as we have observed, descended in torrents, the assemblage, both on the river and shore, was immense. At a quarter past one the combatants made their appearance. As far as confidence and condition could go they lacked nothing, but the disparity in size was wonderful. It was, as sportsmen say, " a horse to a hen" in favour of who must have weighed Campbell, two stone more 'than his adversary, the latter being but Bst. 121 b. Campbell was in a new pink boat, built expressly for this match, and Coombes in the black wherry laid down by Tom Hunt for Mr. Colquhoun. The umpires Mr. Lewis and Mr. Bishop, of the Leander . Club, then came aside, and in the toss Coombes won the choice of station, and took the inside pier on the Middlesex shore, his opponent being at the next. The eight oared cutter belong ing to each party took its station, and the signal was given at i twenty minutes to two fo r th e s t ar t. They both caught tat the moment, and went away like lightning, completely dis tancing landsmen who towed in fours and sixes. Th e y were scull and scull to th e Horsef err y, an d the style of rowing w was admirable, each man laying out his strength, and taking the st ro k e w i t h wonderful rapidity. At Chandler's Camp bell had g a i ne d a b out a yar d on his opponent, and at Vauxhall bridgehe was two l e ngths or m o r e ahead. The struggle was beautiful up t h e R eac h , w h ere t h e l a b our was ex cessive, but Campbell inc r e ase d hi s advantage in each half mile, and ar rived first at P u t ne y -b r id ge a quarter of a mile in advance of his adversary. Campbell was greeted with a roar of can non from Avis's, the Bells Tavern, and with long and lasting plaudits. C oom b es , w h o was muc h di stresse d, was not with out some share of applause. Some thousands have changed owners on this occasion. . ------ - --------- - --- - ROMANCES IN REAL LIFE.—We (Dublin paper) abstain, from motives of delicacy, from naming the parties in the following case, but we have the distressing incidents tee i Dude,, u t i T h the , discharge who, benevolentlyercut: l m f tisi his as n de] oeudost commissionersyke r. looks now record from an authentic source.

His mother in early life married a gentleman of great respectability and extensive fortune in the county of Waterford. Her own portion was also large. He died leaving her a yearly income of 1,0001., a richly-furnished house, and demesne ; the annuity, however, being subject to be reduced to 4001. per year in the event of her marrying again. Notwithstanding the direction in the will, she united hei self to a Dublin gentleman, and thus forfeited 6001. a year. By this husband she had the son whose history.w o briefly give. The husband was an extravagant man, and ran through all the property he could lay his hands upon, but the annuity he could not touch. He also died. After his demise she employed an attorney to sell the annuity, for which 4 , 500 /. were received. She empowered him to deposit the m o ney in the bank, in order that she might be enabled to live upon the interest, but she never enjoyed a penny of it. Her attorney was transporte d for for g er y , and did not ac count for the proceeds of the sale. She, who once was opu lent, is now a dependent upon the exertions of her dying an bumbl e police constable. We saw a letter addressed by the distressed and mourning mother of the poor young man to Mr. Duffy, re -0 tin , ' her situation to presen also that her son was dying. r.

This cir cumstance, and the intemperance of the young man himself, much embarrassed him, and he was obliged to take a situation in the police, but he did not remain long in that capacity.

IN THE ItIATTn. n two former occasions. this cee *as before the Court the credits, The debts and liabilities adeeded, 85,0001., au.. '1 the i P u bad good, bad, and doubtful, 12,000 . ttsolv,rit, been in extensive practice as a solicitor, had been engaged by several noble families. He had formerly been in partnership with a Mr. Houldswortb. The principal opposition in the case was on the ground that a debt had been contracted by the in solvent by means of a breach of trust. The complaining party was the Rev. Charles Cobb Beresford; but the nominal cre ditor was. Robert Montgomery, Esq., executor of the late Sir George Montgomery, Bart. An objection was take i n to the opposition on the former occasion, and a letter put in from Mr. Montgomery, in which he disclaimed the opposition. The Court, however, adjourned the case, in order that that gen tleman might be made acquainted with the circumstances of the case, and an affidavit was read to-day, in which he retracted his letter, and authorised the using of his name for the pur pose of justice. The insolvent had acted as the attorney for Mr. Robert ,Montgomery, and had been concerned for the Rev. Charles Cobb Beresford. In November, 1831, the insolvent received from Messrs. Herries, the bankers of the deceased Baronet, the sum of 8941., which sum, among other property, Mrs. Beresford was entitled to under the will of her brother, the late Sir George Montgomery. Of this sum the insolvent re mitted 7751., keeping back 1201. In April, 1835, he received 833/. on account of an acceptance and interest due to the estate of the testators, and of that sum he informt d Mr. Beres ford that he had only received 4001., and inquired the manner which he should dispose of it. He was requested to deposit the sum in the hands of Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, the army agents, as the purchase money of a commission for one of Mr. Beresford's sons. The insolvent deposited 300/., and the Rev. Gentleman had, when acquainted with the circum stances, to pay the balance of 100/. These were the points made against the insolvent, and the case against him was, that a debt with the Rev. Mr. Beresford had been fraudulently contracted by means of a breach of trust. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the Rev. Gentleman, regretted the position in which he was placed in opposing the insolvent : he bad clearly incurred a debt by means of a breach of trust. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN adjudged the insolvent from the date of his petition to an imprisonment of eighteen calends' months for contracting a debt by means of a breach of trust ; he was discharged as to his other creditors. The judgetrint will be computed from August 16, 1837. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Henry Flower, of Compton-place, Islington, applied to the Lord MAYOR under the following circumstances in the middle of last month : He said that a few days previously he arrived in London from Boulogne by the Magnet steam-packet, and that he was informed by the Custom House officers on board the vessel that he could receive his luggage as soon as it was deposited in the baggage warehouse of the Custom House. Accord ingly he went on the following morning to the Custom House, or rather to the warehouse on London Bridge Wharf. His luggage, consisting of five packages, was searched and passed by the examining officer, and a duty of 3s. was ordered to be charged on some trifling article, which Mr. Flower proceeded to pay, when the clerk demanded 53. 6d. Mr. Flower re quested to know the cause of the additional charge of the 2s. 6d., to which the clerk replied that he demanded it on the , part of Messrs. Jackson and Knill, the wharfingers, it being 6d. on each package. Mr. Flower refused to pay the demand, for which he could see no ground, and his goods were detained in consequence. The LORD MAYOI:—At what wharf ? and how did you arrive ? _ _ _ Mr. Flower—At London Bridge 'Wharf, at two in the afternoon. The LORD MAYOR—Is the warehouse at London Bridge Wharf used as a deposit one by the Custom House? Mr. Flower—l think not. The LORD MAYOR considered the charge of 6d. on each package as a gross imposition, and he was at a loss to know how it ever could have been suffered to be demanded under the very eye of the Custom House authorities. His Lordship then recommended Mr. Flower to apply to the Commissioners of the Customs on the subject. . . Mr. Flower observed tha - t at the Custom HOuse itself no charge was ever made on passengers' luggage arriving from the continent. He believed that the present demand made upon him was under pretence of paying for the warehouse at London Bridge Wharf, which was nothing better than a good sized stable, the parts appropriated for the passengers and their luggage being exactly like lofts. The warehouse, cranes and all, could not have cost anything like 1,0001, and yet he was sure the public had ga.id up wards of 3,000/. for it, and the imposition was still going on. He hoped the Lord Mayor would grant him a summons for Messrs. Jackson and Knill to show by what authority they detained his goods after they had been passed by the Customs. The LORD MAYOR said that he had every disposition to serve Mr. Flower, but he could not grant a summons in a case in which he could not see that he had uny jurisdietion. Mr. Flower subsequently detailed the circumstances in a memorial to the Commissioners of the Customs and -eceived an answer, which is contained in The San of Wednesday. Mr. Flower, determined to have satisfaction if any was to be had, then wrote to the Lords of the Treasury, and he received an answer, which also appeared in The San of Wednesday. Yesterday the Lord Mayor, upon being informed that the matter was under consideration by the Lords of the Treasury, expressed the highest gratification that their Lordships hi.d taken up the question, as in all probability some orders would issue calculated to remedy what he certainly. looked upon as a public. grievance, for he could not see why the luggage of pas sengers should be treated as goods coming promiscuously in the way of merchandise to the wharf alluded to. The prompt and effective course of inquiry into the conduct of certain indi-• viduals of the Coast Guard instituted by order of the Lords of the Treasury some months ago, led the public to expect that similar expedition and energy would be used in the case sub mitted to them by Mr. Flower. Sir PETER LAURIE handed to Mr. Hobler, the chief clerk, his written judgment upon a question which had been brought before him some days ago. The circumstances were as follow :—A complaint was made before Sir Peter Laurie by a person who received a parcel from the Bell and Crown Inn, Holborn, which parcel, he con tended, ought to have been delivered from the Spread Eagle Inn, Gracechurch-street. If the parcel had been delivered from the latter place the cost would have been to him no more than one-half of the cost to which he had been put, the coach being in the custom of taking up parcels and receiving pas sengers at Gracechurch-street as well as at Holborn. It was contended, upon the part of the coach proprietors, that it was impossible for any coach to deliver parcels at every place at which it stopped, and that the place of delivery was the place at which the coach finally stopped, and where the goods were sorted, and from whence they were delivered within six hours after their arrival. As the subject was considered one of import,nce and diffi culty by Sir Peter Laurie, he took time to consider it, and yesterday he wrote down his decision in the following words:— " There is considerable difficulty in this case, and as I can find no decision on the point, it must be settled by the custom of the trade, and as it appears to me, upon inquiry, that the cus tom is to charge porterage for parcels from the principal offices throughout London where coaches put up, I am of opinion that this charge must be allowed. The booking-offices are for the receipt, and not for the delivery, of parcels, and the public, therefore, have the advantage in one way, and the car riers in another." Ruff, whose case appeared in the newspapers of yesterday, keeps the Bell, in Bell-yard, Gracechurch-street. BOW-STREET. Mr. John Pook appeared at this office yesterday to answer a charge of assault preferred against him by Mr. William Ar chibald Campbell, surgeon, residing in No. 23, Wilton-street. Mr. MINSHULL, after hearing evidence, would call on the defendant to find bail, and in fixing the amount it would be necessary to: know what situation of life the defendant was in. The defendant was living on his private property. Mr. MiNseum. then called upon him to enter into his own recognizance for 2001., and find two sureties in 1001 each. that he would keep the peace towards the complainant until the Sessions, and likewise appear there to answer the charge of assault. The sureties required were procured in the course of the day. HATTON-GARDEN. Daniel Macher, a master baker, residing in Exmouth street, Clerkenwell, appeared to a summons to answer the complaint of Stowell, the informer, for having sold a penny roll on Sunday morning last, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock. Farrar,the informer's witness, proved the case. The defendant did not deny the charge, but said that his shop was not open. The witness knocked at his door three times, and begged of him to serve him with a penny roll, as he was very hungry. Mr. BENETT-11 have no doubt but he was hungry for half of the penalty, and I am afraid that in this instance we roust gratify his appetite.—( Laughter.) I must say that Ido not approve of such trickery. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of ten shillings and costs. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. -------- _ _ A grave old gen tl eman with a large parcel under his arm presented himself before the bench, and earnestly begged to be allowed to make his melancholy case publie. - The Magistrates, seeing a person of respectable appearance before them, intimated their willingness to hear the appli cant's statement.

A, t a DISCOVERY OF A SKELETON.—On the skeleton of a man was found by a lad named Jess e Via' in a wood, at Skaynes-hill, Lindfield ; and a Coro nee " quest was held yesterday on the remains by the Coronmrnes H.

The flesh was entirely gone, and the ;1 00 1; were separated, owing to the decay of the sinews and ten,, ea d. but a small portion of hair remained at the back of the No fracture of the skull, ribs, or other bones could be obSev bi gi nor any circumstance indicating that the unfortunate be met with a violent death.
